Spring, Cuties & New Shelves…

So Spring has sprung? i think so – but i would hold back on being entirely sure – these days weather is crazy. We had that big snow fall over Easter & usually that’s the last of the snow we’ll see at this level (400m above sea level). But guess what – it snowed again last weekend. So now i have decided not to look at the blooming flowers (which you see below) as a sign of Spring – they were out at Easter already – but still the snow came & the windy blew & it was cold!

However, today i think i can say that Spring has arrived – the slugs & snails came out after the rains today 😉 (didn’t have my camera when i saw them so no pict 😦 )

But here are the whites & yellows in our backyard:

Oh i also want to share this lovely photo of the 2x Cuties in my life (darling hubby & darling son):

Aren’t they cute?!!

Well, in Singapore, i was looking at the possiblities of getting a cheap metal book stand for my business – however, didn’t see a design that suited my needs. My beloved Daddy was with me when i was at the metal factory showroom – he looked at the stuff they had & instantly designed a book stand to suit my needs with the raw materials that was there – amazing!

So here’s the book stand in action:

& it can be used in 2x ways! Thank you very much Daddy!

Well, have to go get Sunday School materials together.

Tobias is back!!!

Just a quick short post to say that my little bundle of joy is back to being his bouncy, noisy self again 😉
His energy started returning some time yesterday evening & this morning – thot he still complains of stomach pains every now & again – i think it’s just the stomach muscles trying to get back to normal.
It’s a record of 3x visits to the doctor for this one illness! We have never been to the doctor that many times in 1x week. It also took him longer to recover compared to last year’s.
Well, off to bed – i have to be up early tomorrow for my Women’s Day Away Seminar in Zurich.

Tobias ill, sick, unwell …

Yep, it seems that the virus has started it’s rounds – we are in the midst of a round of throwing up & fevers… sigh!
Since yesterday, i’ve changed & washed 2x sets of sheets, covers & duvets. Wipe down 2x sofas, changed & washed 4x sets of PJs & 2x sets of other clothes … Thank God it was my washing day so i could get most of them washed – the ones from today will just have to be hand-washed – sigh!

Tobias has been quite ill since Monday – he went to daycare in the morning complaining of a headache – we thot he was being whiny – but when i picked him up after lunch – they said he threw up 3x times (mostly water) – then he threw up on the way home & then another 4x times before he finally kept something down at about 11pm & fell asleep till about 5 am when he asked for more water. But he ran an almost constant fever … even today after seeing the doc & being on meds – sigh! We thot he was showing signs of recovery this morning – until he threw up at about 6pm – then another time before he fell asleep just an hour ago – we pray he will get better soon. The doc thinks it is a virus infection – which in Switzerland means ride it out. Sigh! But he also says it could be appendicitis (sp?) as Tobias felt more pain on the right side then on the left. The blood & urine test came out clean but we are to go back again tomorrow afternoon just in case.

The poor little guy has been really quite good about being ill – especially when he so hates to throw-up. He is most definitely more ill than he has been before – he doesn’t even have the energy to ask for a video to watch & he complains of pains (head & tummy) most of the time – sigh! i really do hope he gets better soon – he really hasn’t had much to eat or drink – sigh!

So do pray that he gets better asap!

i must say that i am grateful that Walter is here this time – unlike the last time & that trip to the hospital in the middle of the night.

We are all tried – haven’t slept much. Off to try & catch zzzzzzzz….
